If they just hook up the computer, you'll pass no problem as long as your engine isn't throwing any codes.

he answered your question, if your not stage 2 yet and are throwing a cat deficiency code then u will not pass....either upgrade, get a spark plug anti-fouler and space the secondary o2 or reset the ecu and hope it doesn't throw a cel during the test

i dont have the downpipe on, i am not throwing any cels. if they put a probe in my exhaust with it in chipped mode, would it fail?

Most likely! I couldn't pass with a full exhaust (cat and muffler)
But I was having other issues... I would say have someone with a vag connect to your car. You can check rediness codes quickly!

Good for you!
I can't pass a bum on a bike with revo stgIII BT!

thats cause i bet your engine has barely any compression. have you seen pistons after running upsolute? you cant fix a broken arm (upsolute) with a new bandaid (revo)
not to mention when i talked to you at waterfest you had no idea what settings you had, you asked alex who installed it and he didnt either

i would suggest logging and setting.
 
Re: (CapeGLS)

youre saying it is slow, but i was trying to help tiger. go do some timing logs to see what you should be set at. if he set you at ko3 normal settings you will be pulling timing like its its job.
